Slow Cookin'! Philippe's Peanut Chicken

My ex, who was Congolese by way of Tanzania, taught me this recipe.  I adapted it for the slow cooker. I don't measure anything...all measurements are estimates.

Peanut Chicken Stew
1/2 c smooth peanut butter
1/2 can tomato paste
8 oz chicken broth
2 carrots, chopped into rings
1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
3 chicken legs (or thighs), skin removed
1 small onion
1 tbs chopped garlic
1 habanero pepper
crushed red pepper, seasoned salt to taste

Coat chicken legs with seasoning (red pepper and salt) and place in the bottom of the slow cooker.  Layer sweet potato, carrots, garlic, and onion on top. Blend peanut butter, chicken broth, and tomato paste and pour over chicken and veggies. Drop in habanero pepper (don't cut it!). Cook on high for 6 hours. Serve over rice (Basmati rice is great with this!)
